Their natural feelings toward it only help to confirm what they "know" from the Bible.

You realize that those 'natural feelings' are not natural at all, but that heteronormativity is something that is driven into us by the media, our parents, the education system etc.
Those feelings and tendencies are made by man, not by any natural force. they are passed down from parents to children, from teachers to students. Little by little it is changing, and in 20-40 years, 90% of the population would not even consider anything 'unnatural" about it.
